    becoming an LPN

    Rionoir replied to litti_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will likely need to have had a year of chemistry and biology in HS which I'm guessing will be an issue, so there will probably be some prereqs for you to take still. I'd second looking at CNA and...

    WEEKEND TO DECIDE - MSN, CNL, Accreditation, ABSN OH MY!

    Rionoir replied to charisma00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel like everyone asks for advice when what they really want is someone to say they are doing the right thing. So if you're really comfortable paying $100k for a program that you've heard is going...

    WEEKEND TO DECIDE - MSN, CNL, Accreditation, ABSN OH MY!

    Rionoir replied to charisma00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you been unable to get into a state school or something? $100k for a BSN is ridiculous. And if you are worried about one/both of those schools losing accreditation but are still considering...

    Rionoir replied to Tallyho322's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently working on an ADN and will start a RN-BSN as soon as I finish. It is so much cheaper for starters, plus getting in was way easier too. It's also a very respected program in my area...

    Ways to get patient-care experience before nursing school?

    Rionoir replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Rionoir replied to Nurse2b_Cook's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pharmacology class

    Rionoir replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

    In my pharm class we don't need to know any of that, we study CLASSES of drugs and important side effects and such. I'd be shocked if your school gave you credit for your online class. It's actually...

    Thoughts/advice on taking Pathophysiology before Physiology??

    Rionoir replied to kels13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To LPN or no?

    Rionoir replied to koyukuk's topic in General Students

    I am in an ADN program and was told we can sit for the LPN Test after second semester. Do you really have to take the schools class for that or are they just trying to get more money out of
